PFAS score
Balmain Beauty · Lip Gloss & Lip Balm
Kylie X Balmain Bundle High Gloss, Lip Liner Lipstick, Palette
Insufficient transparency, skip until brand discloses PFAS status or provides third-party testing.
Kylie X Balmain cosmetics contain typical lip and eye pigment formulations with no public PFAS disclosures or certifications. Cosmetic manufacturers rarely voluntarily disclose PFAS use; high-gloss and waterproof formulas may pose elevated concern. No lab testing or third-party verification is publicly available for this product.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 35% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
